Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Obtaining prenatal care is the most important activity a pregnant woman can engage in to aid in providing a positive outcome for an unborn child. Prenatal care will include screening for complications of pregnancy, education, and monitoring of health status. A balanced diet, avoidance of stress, and exercise are beneficial but not as important as obtaining early, regular prenatal care

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Syncope is a sudden, brief loss of consciousness, and the nurse would need to provide safety for a client experiencing this condition. Dietary changes may be indicated for problems with chewing or swallowing but not for syncope. Seizure precautions may be indicated for an individual with a seizure-related disorder but not for the presence of syncope. Intake and output may be indicated for a variety of medical conditions but are not indicated for the presence of syncope.
